<p>A 2.1 magnitude earthquake was recorded in Hendersonville at 3:18 a.m. Wednesday morning, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.</p><p>The quake occurred at a depth of 10.1 kilometers and was felt as far away as Ringgold, a small town in northwest Georgia.</p><p>Rafael Abreu, a geophysicist for the U.S. National Earthquake Information Center, said that although seismic activity is pretty rare in Hendersonville, a 2.1 quake can “pretty much happen anywhere.”</p><p>The earthquake here was “very typical, shallow” and can be “attributed to normal pressures and stresses on the earth's crust,” he added. </p><p>The micro-seismic activity was felt in at least three states, with calls coming in from Georgia, York, S.C. and Boone.</p><p>“Shallow quakes tend to be felt more, closer to the surface,” Abreu said. “We know that in the eastern U.S., quakes tend to be felt over a wide area.”</p>
